The Pacers quickly got the ball back after a LeBron James turnover, but James redeemed himself on the other end with one of his trademark chasedown blocks.

Huge third quarter for Cleveland — outscoring the Pacers 32-17 — gives the Cavs a 81-73 lead heading into the fourth. The last three games of the series, Cleveland had been outscored in the third quarter by a combined 24 points. Tonight, the Cavs flipped the script.

Westbrook turns and shows the official his sleeve pulled all the way down to his wrist after a drive, as Ricky Rubio drills a 3 on the other end. The Jazz are on the verge of not just eliminating the Thunder, but humiliating them, too.

Rudy Gobert picked up his fourth foul with 9:23 left in the third, opening a small window of opportunity for the Thunder to maybe close the gap. Instead, the Jazz have blown it open even wider, to 25.

In some ways, missing the playoffs might’ve been a better outcome for this Thunder team. A disaster of course, but not the complete public shaming and exposition of every issue they have like this series is.

The Browns know Myles Garrett can become a dominant pass-rusher, but they needed a solid run-stopper to complement him. Thomas at first will help at every position on the line in the rotation.

The Texans extended Andre Hal last year and added Tyrann Mathieu this year, but they needed more depth at safety after losing Marcus Gilchrist and Eddie Pleasant. Reid, brother of free-agent safety Eric Reid, is well-rounded with his coverage and run play to become a solid starter in time.

Brandon Clarke, a 6-8 transfer eligible next season, averaged 17.5 PPG at San Jose State during the 2016-17 season. Mark Few has another team that could win the national championship. You shouldn’t be surprised.

Don’t worry about junior Admiral Schofield (13.9 PPG, 40 percent from 3) entering the draft without hiring an agent. He’s the perfect candidate to go through the process and return next season more motivated.

The Lions reach a little for a free safety with size, but former Pro Bowler Glover Quinn is 32, and Walker shares many of the same traits as an active, rangy cover man.

After a mostly dry rain delay of nearly two hours, they were able to squeeze a 8-5 win over the Orioles at Camden Yards in Saturday before thunderstorms threatened to hammer the Inner Harbor.

More rain!

The Yankees may not get as lucky Sunday, with the National Weather Service forecasting potential flash floods and buckets of rain around the 1:07 p.m. start time. The teams were washed out Thursday night.

After Stanton led off the inning with a single, Gary Sanchez hit a grounder to short. Schoop took the throw to start the double play but fired it well over first base. The ball landed out of play and Sanchez was awarded second base.

Then Didi Gregorius ripped a low liner to center field. Jones went to play it off the short hop. It kicked off the wet grass, bounced off his glove and rolled behind him. Sanchez scored. Gregorius was given an RBI and a single and he advanced to second base on the error a bad call by the official scorer.

In the next at-bat, Aaron Hicks singled to center. Jones missed the cutoff man. Gregorius scored and Hicks made it to second on the throwing flub.

For all the enticing offensive toys for Eli Manning to play with, Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley and Co. cannot be expected to produce 25 to 30 points on a weekly basis. Already, it appears head coach Pat Shurmur will have to rely heavily on the ability of his defensive coordinator, James Bettcher, to out-scheme opponents and devise ways to manufacture pressure on the opposing quarterback.

It is virtually impossible to hide deficiencies at cornerback, though, and Apple was a major part of the problem after a truly nightmarish 2017 season.

There have been worse second acts, but not many. The new operating duo of Shurmur and general manager Dave Gettleman inherited quite a conundrum and, wisely, decided to wait and see rather than jettisoning Apple as a way of sending an introductory warning that there is a new Giants way of doing things.

This spring, Apple is a constant participant in the Giants’ offseason workout program. Gettleman and Shurmur have not said a whole lot about Apple, other than the broad-brush clean slate directive they assigned to players coming back from last season’s 3-13 nosedive.

WATCH: Nate Burleson says Blake Bortles is the NFL’s most slept on QB More Crazy right? The national media giving the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Blake Bortles some semblance of credibility. Should we buy lottery tickets this evening? Look, we get it. The Jaguars have been one of the most underachieving franchises of the last decade. But the team has built its way back to prominence the blue collar way through the NFL draft.

The stars are aligning for big gains in bitcoin, astrologers claim, and some investors are actually following that out-of-this-world advice.

When Chicago-based investor Marcus Thomas first heard about cryptocurrency in 2017, he was skeptical. I couldn’t understand how something digital could have any value like the dollar, gold or silver, he said.

But he has since invested more than $11,000 in cryptocurrencies — in part because astrologers said it was a good idea. People who track the zodiac say the movement of the planet Uranus — which represents revolution and change — from Aries into Taurus this week is a good sign for cryptocurrencies. Thomas and starry-eyed others say they’re moving money into crypto to get in on the potential action.

Check out the video above for our thoughts on that.

That’s kind of a weird explanation, frankly. The more accurate truth is that, in the aftermath of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf refusing to stand for the anthem more than 20 years ago, the NBA swooped in and negotiated an agreement with the NBA Players Association to make standing mandatory. End of problem. Which is precisely what the NFL should have done.

But the NFL doesn’t enjoy the kind of relationship with the NFL Players Association that would be conducive to a quick and easy win-win outcome, and the league surely didn’t want to get squeezed into making a concession to players in order to make the problem go away in August 2016. As a result, the problem lingers. As does the NFL’s reluctance to negotiate the kind of conclusive resolution that would happen if the league and the union would agree that players will stand for the anthem. All because the NFL doesn’t want to give something up to get the outcome it so desperately needs.

Evgeny Kuznetsov was on the ice for Washington Capitals practice Friday, 36 hours after leaving Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights clutching his left arm in pain.

Kuznetsov did not return to Wednesday night’s game, and coach Barry Trotz had no further update other than to say Washington’s leading scorer is day-to-day. Kuznetsov’s status for Game 3 Saturday night is still not clear.

Last season, the Patriots and 49ers provided a major surprise with a deal that sent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from New England to San Francisco. Six months later, could they possibly get together for another quarterback deal?

Lindor finished 1 for 5, the homer flanked by a pair of warning-track flyouts. Rosario was 1 for 4.

The series was scheduled before Hurricane Maria hit last September. The recovery from the catastrophic storm has been the focus of this trip for the Twins and Indians.

These people need to cheer, Lindor said.

So in the fifth, he made it happen.

No. 9 hitter Bradley Zimmer hit a two-out double and Lindor worked the count full. As horns blared, inflatable thundersticks clanged and fans — including his mom — screamed, Lindor turned on an offering from Odorizzi and lofted a long fly to right.

The thought process doesn’t only mean that that Browns could take a quarterback at No. 1 and No. 4. They could trade down from No. 4 and take a quarterback later in round one. They also could take a second quarterback with one of the other picks they hold in the first 64 selections (five in all) and in the first 123 picks (eight in all).

The defeat was a reality check on the mania surrounding the 23-year-old Ohtani, who has said he still has plenty of work to do on the mound and at the plate. He won his first two starts in impressive fashion earlier this month, and he is off to a .367, three-homer start as a designated hitter.

Ohtani and manager Mike Scioscia both said the blister shouldn’t affect his ability to swing the bat.

Scioscia also said he’s optimistic Ohtani can make his next start on the mound. The Angels have given Ohtani one week between starts so far, which likely would put his next start on the road against defending World Series champion Houston.

Fred Jackson is done with football, but he wants to retire a Buffalo Bill.

Jackson finished his career in 2015 with the Seahawks but is expected to sign a one-day contract with the Bills, according to the Buffalo News.

The Wolves scored the first nine points of the second half to take a 56-54 lead. Tucker made a 3 for the Rockets after that, but Minnesota used a 6-1 spurt, with 3s from Wiggins and Teague, to go back on top 62-58.

The Rockets had managed just six points in the quarter when Gerald Green made a basket with to cut the lead to 1 with about five minutes left in the third. Derrick Rose added a bucket seconds later, but Houston scored six straight points after that to put Houston up 68-65. Harden got things going when he made a 3-pointer while being fouled by Rose and also made the free throw.

Poised to enter the final year of his contract, Thomas made waves by inviting the Cowboys to pursue him in late December. Asked this offseason about his relationship with the Seahawks , Thomas has stated on separate occasions that money talks and his future in Seattle is a guessing game .

From the Seahawks’ perspective, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported in early March that Thomas is firmly in their plans for the 2018 season.

Perhaps that mindset explains the prohibitive asking price of first- and third-round draft picks , as recently reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Unless the Seahawks lower that price tag, Thomas is unlikely to be sent to Dallas — or any other NFL city — in a draft-day trade.

Rangers: RHP Tim Lincecum was transferred to the 60-day disabled list after he started the season on the 10-day DL due to a blister on his right middle finger. Just feel like with him being a number of days away from actually facing hitters, putting him on the 60-day gives a little more room to play with and the opportunity to slow the process down, Banister said.

As I’m nearing 30, I look back on my dating life and a pattern emerges: My significant others either loved sports or played sports (professionally).

I’ve dated a few professional athletes, and no, I am not a gold digger, nor am I a cheerleader.

I’m an educated woman with her own career who happens to love competitive sports perhaps more than most women.

I am 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh less than 110 pounds, but on the inside, I am a 6-foot-4, 230-pound football player. In my mind and heart, I was created to be on the football field, but like most other people, my genes have had the last word.

The Patriots made a determined push to keep Solder, and the Texans also were interested. He said the money was all somewhat equal and it just came down to where my family was going to be most comfortable.

This organization is incredible, just the reputation that we know and the reputation that precedes them,” Solder said. At about 2 a.m. we kind of worked out a deal and kind of took our time figuring out what we’re going to do, and we’re so fortunate to be where we’re at.

All are tempting in this pass-happy league, and the Super Bowl champion Eagles showed why such a risk can pay off. Philadelphia pounced on a weak market for ex-Bear Alshon Jeffery and signed him to a one-year, $14 million deal. Jeffery was not dominant, but did add a threat to the Eagles offense with 47 catches for 789 yards and nine touchdowns that added up to a four-year, $52 million extension.

Jeffery was viewed as expendable by the Bears because of a significant injury history that tarnished his ability on the field. And like Jeffery, these three options have warts.

Watkins, too, has a noteworthy injury history. Robinson is currently rehabbing from a torn ACL. That is likely why the Rams and Jaguars, respectively, opted not to use their franchise tags on the one-time No. 1 receivers. But both have shown the ability to be No. 1 receivers in their career.

Hurting Watkins further could be his inability to break out in his first year with the Rams in an offense that was flourishing after years of being with the quarterback-deprived Bills. Watkins thrived intermittently as a deep threat for the Rams, who had two solid underneath receivers in Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods.

Hearst struggled early in his career, but he enjoyed a breakthrough in San Francisco with 1,570 yards and seven TDs in 1998. Hearst was a two-time Pro Bowl selection with the 49ers.

Warner was selected after John Elway and Eric Dickerson in the legendary 1983 NFL Draft, and the Penn State star didn’t disappoint with the Seahawks. He had four 1,000-yard seasons and hit the 1,400-yard mark twice over an eight-year NFL career.

Bush did help the Saints improve their win total by seven in his first season, and he added 477 catches for 3,598 yards out of the backfield. He never quite matched the hype coming out of USC, but he still had a productive NFL career.

In this mock draft, each of the last five picks would be fits for Cincinnati. If the draft really played out in this fashion, it wouldn’t be a shock to see the Bengals move back. But if they held at No. 12, taking the top available offensive lineman is the most viable outcome.

Washington would love to see Oakland pass on a player like Vea. That would open the team up to taking the draft’s top interior defensive lineman. Vea can help improve Washington’s run defense lining up next to Jonathan Allen.

An ankle injury literally slowed Landry down for much of the 2017 season. He’s a pass rusher with a game built around initial burst and speed. When he’s healthy, Landry is arguably the draft’s top pure edge-rusher.

TRADE: The Bulls are sending Jameer Nelson to the Pistons in exchange for Willie Reed, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports. Nelson will give Detroit a veteran presence and some much-needed help in the backcourt.

Multiple NBA teams are bailing on the trade game, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski . It looks like much of the league will be conservative ahead of the deadline and target the buyout market instead.

Several teams tell ESPN that they’re already easing out of the trade market today to focus on filling needs with what is expected to be a strong post-deadline pool of free agents in the buyout market.

Phoenix Suns: The Suns have the worst defense in the NBA coming out of the All-Star break, having allowed 110.6 points per 100 possessions through their 59 games. While the presence of Elfrid Payton should improve things some, the Suns — along with the Kings — are a defense to take advantage of every time they take the court no matter what type of fantasy league you play in.

Lewis rushed for more than 1,000 yards in eight of his 10 NFL seasons, including a 2,066-yard effort with the Ravens in 2003. Lewis also set the single-game rushing record with 295 yards against the Browns in 2003, a record Adrian Peterson broke in 2007.

James and Peyton Manning should eventually join Marvin Harrison in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. James quietly produced prolific numbers during his career. He led the NFL in rushing his first two seasons; the second included 1,709 yards and 13 TDs. He also had five straight 1,000-yard seasons from 2003-07.

Faulk enjoyed an outstanding career between the Colts and Rams, one that included seven 1,000-yard seasons as a rusher and 6,875 yards and 36 TDs receiving. Faulk won MVP honors in 2000 and was the centerpiece of the Greatest Show on Turf along with Kurt Warner, though his best season might have been 1999 when he rushed for 1,381 yards and had 1,048 yards receiving.

Until an edge-rusher slips or the Rams make a move on a starter at cornerback in free agency, the old familiar pick of Jackson is the choice. If the Rams still had a second-round pick, it would be easier to look at a different position. But by the time Los Angeles picks again at No. 87, there won’t be such obvious starters. An edge-rusher like Josh Sweat of Florida State or Kemoko Turay of Rutgers would be interesting Day 3 picks if Robert Quinn gets cut.

If the Panthers happen to lose guard Andrew Norwell in free agency, it opens a big hole on the offensive line. Wynn would fit in perfectly at left guard, and in a pinch he can even play tackle.

Harden is having another historic season. According to Basketball-Reference, he’s on pace to join Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and Westbrook as the only players in NBA history to average at least 30.0 points, 8.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game in a single season. He’s on pace to become only the seventh player in NBA history to average at least 30.0 points per game on a true shooting percentage of 60.0 percent or greater as well.

Put those qualifiers together, and only Jordan can match what Harden is doing this season.

Anthony Davis won the scoring battle, but Jimmy Butler won the war as the Timberwolves took down the Pelicans 118-107. Davis scored a game-high 38 points and grabbed nine rebounds while Butler had 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

Boston Celtics All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving went through the team’s entire off-day practice Saturday and expects to return to game action Sunday against the Orlando Magic after missing one game due to a sore shoulder.

On Sunday morning, the Celtics announced that Irving will play while listing Aron Baynes as questionable with an illness.

We still have a little ways to go in order to figure things out as a team, in terms of opportunities we can take advantage of and just playing the game within the game, Irving said. …

Sometimes it’s not being made. And when it’s not, the defense is so good in this league that that window can close, and you try to create an opportunity to nowhere. We’ll get better.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is now one of the veterans, and he sees marketing campaigns pushing new drivers now that many of those older guys he battled have retired.

I get it if they deserve it. … Look at Matt Kenseth: He was outrunning them pretty much each and every week and not getting the limelight. Some of those things are bothersome at times, said Bowyer, who finished 18th in the standings.

Did I deserve it? I wasn’t running as good as I needed to. But if I was running up front and should have been in the limelight, I would have been barking, biting back a little bit.

Busch conceded there could be a reason NASCAR wants to push the younger drivers.

The Patriots used a familiar formula to get to their eighth Super Bowl under coach Bill Belichick: clutch play from both quarterback Tom Brady and their defense. The Eagles have been the NFL’s most complete team in their ability to light up the scoreboard while also shutting down opponents.

What looked like a lopsided QB advantage for Brady feels a little different after Nick Foles turned in one of the greatest playoff passing performances ever against the Vikings. Facing another daunting defense that will stop the run, Brady will have no issues passing often in a game that has all the makings of a shootout.
